    2. I’m happy with all of the Acting winners. Considering you guys didn’t nominate Gyllenhaal or Aniston for Best Actress, I can live with Moore. Very happy to see Serkis win. I didn’t know so many people actually LIKE Ed HArris’s atrocious, offensive performance in The Hours.

    3. My question was passive aggressive towards the Academy, but thanks for the answers! I’ll just continue to preach Lubezki’s brilliance anywhere appropriate!

    4. Thanks for getting to my questions guys. I personally think that the Academy is going to return to the five slots in the near future because they have already reacted so quickly to the changes they’ve installed. When “The Dark Knight” got snubbed, the ten list was introduced. When people complained that “The Blind Side” made it in, they revamped again. Now they’ve taken it on the chin once again for letting “Extremely Loud…” slip by. They seem to be all knee jerks over there, and I think this is going away in a few years. But that’s just how I see it.

      I can say I was very surprised that “The Two Towers” did as well as it ended up doing. And to Robert’s point about lining up so much, I have to say that, unlike him, I couldn’t muster the same sort of enthusiasm for this year as he did (for me, that year was 2007). My ballot did match up quite a bit with the Academy’s that year only because I didn’t find to many other examples for me to break from, though there were a couple like a personal Best Actor mention for Jeremy Renner in “Dahmer”. The next couple of years will be more interesting to me, especially since my Best Picture selections for 2000 only have two out of the five that were actually nominated.

      Can’t wait to start ACCA 2000.

    6. Well, I still have hope for Lubezki. It’s just sad to see cynicism over the Oscars confirmed by the Academy’s insistence on rewarding their favorites over the ‘best’. I’ll keep him on my list until the big disappointment.

      As for Michael Mann directing a big studio tent pole movie:
      “Could I have worked under a system where there were Draconian controls on my creativity, meaning budget, time, script choices, etc.? Definitely not.”
      So the answer is definitely probably no.

    8. Thanks for the in-depth answer. I think I’ve chosen Blanchett. An i don’t know if this holds any weight do to the fact that this sites podcast’s are still in their infancy but, this episode was easily the best.
